To mark the launch of its latest game Monster Hunter: World, Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, is offering real-life monster hunters a huge £50,000 reward to find comprehensive evidence for the existence of ten famous global beasts

Laura Skelly, Senior PR Manager for Capcom said: “When planning the upcoming launch of Monster Hunter: World we couldn’t help but keep coming back to the real-life monsters we’ve all heard stories about since we were kids.

“Speaking to the world’s leading real-life monster hunter, Jon Downes, we were inspired to re-open investigations into a select list of top 10 beasts, setting a huge bounty to really encourage people to get back out hunting for evidence.

“Much like in the new Monster Hunter: World game, we through it was only right that the scale of the reward fit the task at hand.”

The wining entry for the competition will be revealed to the public in late July.
